A fun, friendly picture book about recycling and rubbish—perfect for children aged 3-6.

From Holly's lorry to Stan's metal-can machine, discover all the busy people, vehicles, and machines needed to recycle and dispose of our rubbish—and find out how we can all reuse our things more to make it not-for-the-bin day!

With stylish, contemporary artwork from Klas Fahlen and gentle narrative text by Polly Faber, this gorgeous picture book introduces all the people, processes, and vehicles involved in recycling paper, glass, plastic, food, and more.

Bonus non-fiction material includes three pages of fully illustrated tips on how young readers can reduce, reuse, and recycle. Fact-checked by Dr Margaret Bates, Professor of Sustainable Waste Management at the University of Northampton, this is the ideal book for climate-conscious parents wanting to empower and educate.

Printed using vegetable inks and high-quality, sustainable paper.
